    Beauty in the midst of Flatbush. I’m convinced that you can find and snap a photo of beauty at ANY location. Keep looking.

    Nice shot of the tulip.
    In the interest of accurate nomenclature, might I add that I believe the tulip flower in the photo is more likely Tulipa tarda – a ‘species’ tulip.
    There exists a cultivar with the proper name of T. ‘Mini Star’ – a Triumph group tulip. It is reported to be yellow and about 40-50 cm. in height.
    Tulip variety names are most generally written in italics with the letter T. ( for the Latin “Tulipa”) followed by the name of the cultivar, which is enclosed with the single quotation marks – whatever those are really called.

    There is a lot of Dutch still in New York.
    Thanks for the photo of the Mini Star Tulip.
    I was looking for T. ‘Mini Star’ when it popped up on my Google search.
    I recall visiting a garden with tulips late at night on a street corner in Bedford-Stuyvesant in late winter 2001 adjacent to a very jumping bar. Very surreal experience, but completely harmonious at the same time.

    Regards,
